- Openings to 8 000mm wide
- 0.8mm–1.2mm galvanised slat
- Chain hoist or motorised
Randburg industry concentrates in two places, and they behave differently. Kya Sand runs light manufacturing and distribution on the low ground along the Jukskei, and Strijdom Park and Robin Hills carry workshops, panel shops and motor trade premises with bays that open and close all day. On both, the door is production equipment rather than a fitting.
How we build industrial roller shutter doors
- Heavy-gauge curtains chosen for the cycle count the opening actually sees, not the opening width.
- Deep guides so a knocked curtain stays in its channel instead of coming out of the building.
- Barrels sized on deflection across the real span, which is what stops a wide door bowing.
- Industrial drives with proper duty ratings and a manual override an operator can reach.
Industrial roller shutter doors for Randburg loading bays
A door that runs forty times a day is a different machine from one that runs twice. We specify the drive and the bearings against measured cycles and oversize rather than sit on the limit, because a drive running at its rating all day has a short life.
Impact protection on tight yards
The Kya Sand and Strijdom Park yards are compact and the vehicle movement is constant, which is why impact accounts for most of the industrial door damage we see here. We specify deeper guides, fit bollards or impact posts where the traffic justifies it, and build the check into the maintenance schedule.
Corrosion on low-lying sites
Parts of Kya Sand sit on the Jukskei floodplain and take standing water at the threshold. A bottom rail and curtain edge that sit wet corrode from the inside out. On those openings we specify heavier galvanising, a bottom rail built for it, and we look at the threshold drainage rather than only at the door.
Wide-span and high openings
Openings above about five metres need the barrel, the shaft and the fixing steel calculated rather than assumed. Where the existing structure will not carry a wider door we quote the steelwork instead of hanging a door off something that will move.
Fire-rated and insulated industrial doors
Where a compartment line runs through an opening the door must be a rated, certified assembly that drops when it is told to. Where a building is temperature-controlled we build insulated curtains with proper seals. Both are quoted as what they are, certification included.
Three-phase power and controls
Most Randburg industrial sites have three-phase available, which allows drives with the torque and duty for heavy doors. Controls run to a station at the bay, remotes go in the vehicles where the yard layout needs them, and isolation is provided so the door can be made safe for maintenance.
Maintenance on industrial doors
Twice a year, and more often on wet or busy yards. A serviced door costs a fraction of an emergency, and the door standing is nearly always more expensive than either.
